He said he is open to more content.... After looking it over I didn't like it as much as the link I provided. But is that build on the link pieced together or somewhere in a book? I can't seem to find it.

Why do you need weapons as an incantatrix? You have spells... Unless by weapons you mean magic items in general.

I've heard putting some passive weapon enchantments, like Warning and Eager (MIC), on both ends of a double weapon such as a quarterstaff can be an effective use of caster resources.

Also, a wand chamber (Dungeonscape) in both ends.

That would be the reason that I would grab a weapon. This is what I found ad was wanting to do:

A +1 Eager Spellstrike / +1 Warning Defending quarterstaff costs 36.600 gp and gives you a huge amount of bonuses (assuming magic weapon, greater is casted on both heads, with a rod of lesser chain for example).
+5 bonus to AC which stacks with all others.
+5 bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like abilities (it has no type, so assume that it stacks with all others).
+7 bonus to initiative checks. (actually +5 insight and +2 unnamed).
 

But with my limitations I was looking for other spells to compensate. The books that are available to me are: DMG, PHB, MM, Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, Players Guide to Faerun, Spell Compendium.

Oh that makes sense.... Still stuck on DM giving me a green light on it. So until then I am going to build a wizard/shadow adept/ Incantrix or Druid. Idk.

Wait, does SRD count?  I vaguely recall something about Forgotten Realms as being explicitly "psionics are not magic", which means they would function in wild/dead magic zones.  A King of Smack build would probably be viable, and is similar in play style to what you initially wanted to play.

I spent a lot I time into the psions. I liked what I saw but the DM said no because that was a whole other type of... "force" (sorry don't know what t call it). He said it was another effect that would change the game and he would have to be accountable or when it came to monsters. So he shot me down.

In order to be the "best" Fighter, you need Champions of Valor, Dungeonscape, Drow of the Underdark, and possibly Complete Champion.
 

In short scrap my fighter and and roll a cleric / wizard or some sorts?

the druid is going to be the best "tank" there's ever going to be... and since you guys still don't have an arcane caster i'd go with a sorcerer (going into mage of the arcane order) or ideally a wizard.

My first choice was going to be some type of caster but I was kind of turned away when the DM told me that there are pockets to where magic either doesn't work at all or it may have a complete different effect on the target. I would have to roll checks to see what would happen. A matter of fact I was looking at a sorcerer or wizard.

By doing that what does that give me?

 I have tried to build a fighter and thought it could be better in comparison. When I saw this layout I was like it is balanced out to the rest. I may post mine to show what I chose... Depending on if thi is the place to share it.

Help is needed...

I have only played D&D 3.5 one other time and once again I jumped into a game in the middle. Then we switched to 4 Ed and as quick as we switched we stopped. Even when I played in 3.5 I chose a character that sounded good and the DM pretty much created my character sheet and nothing was really explained.

Now I am joining into a game that everyone is at lvl 11. The books that I was told that I am allowed to use are: DMG, PHB, MM, Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, Players Guide to Faerum, and Spell Compendium. Starting stats of 14, 16, 18, 13, 10, 13. Also I cant use a race that gives a LA.

I have talked to may of friends in my area and they say start of with a fighter, barbarian, ... "they are the easiest." I don't like being the main person that is in their face. I don't like being the face of the party either. I have always like the druid that I first played. I enjoyed shapeshifting and having the pet, but also being able to heal my self and others. Casting wasn't that big for me until I played a Wizard in 4 ed. I enjoyed sitting back and blowing things up from a far.

I guess what I am asking from the Pros.. you guys, is with those books how great of a character can I make? I think I want to roll a druid. If you guys have another input please let me know. Don't forget I am somewhat a Noob! I don't what everything given to me, I want to be explained why it is better so I understand. You know... "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day; Teach a man to fish and feed him for life." I have searched all over the net and have seen some really good builds but they include books that I am unable to use.

I was just searching through the Internet to see how people build a fighter at that level to get ideas. Them I ran into your post and was curious if that was a new revision. I would have to do some changes and The lvl progression is way better.
